Pet care experience

I will treat your dog like Family.

I am retired, responsible, flexible and caring. Your Satisfaction and Your Pets’well being are my basic concerns. I have had 3 rescue dogs the past 30 years and understand how deep the bond can be. I am not looking for an every day every week type sitting but I will strive to make my Clients into permanent customers by providing exceptional care and service to exceed your expectations. I am retired with a home in Hudson Wi and will respect your pet, your home, and your surroundings and your neighbors surroundings. Since I am retired I have time to be flexible in scheduling and do additional tasks with your Pet. My goal would be that you, your family, and your Pet feel safe and secure while you are not there. I am available to meet with you at your home, my home, coffee, wherever, just to get to know you and your Pet before we proceed.

Mark did a fabulous job watching our dog. From the meet and greet to the final goodbye, Breck was in very good hands with Mark. I appreciated the great communication, and daily picture and video updates. Breck even had a playdate with Mark's pup. Mark not only took care of Breck, he also left our house in clean conditions. I highly recommend Mark for your pet sitting needs.

Mark takes exceptional care of our three pets, including an older dog requiring medications. I am completely comfortable leaving them in his care.

My retirement allows me to have time to spend with your dogs and cat. I enjoy dogs and cats and will treat your home and environment with care and respect like it was my own home.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Mark can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to have the dog know me, and get used to me on their terms. I love German Shorthaired Pointers since I have had 3 but any breed is Ok and I am always fascinated by Rescue Dogs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
